Announcing the release of SlipStream Jet. This Windows program will 
let you download your selected USENET newsgroups and EMail from your internet
provider (SLIP/PPP) or TCP/IP Winsock 1.1 compliant network and convert
them to QWK format for use with your favorite offline reader. It will
read your reply packets and upload them to your NNTP server. It will
create 100% correct USENET and mail headers. This program requires Windows
3.1 or higher, a TCP/IP connection, and a Winsock 1.1 compliant stack installed.

Please be sure to read the license.txt for important legal, license and
warranty information.

SlipStream requires VBRUN300.DLL and may not run in Windows 
Standard mode. VBRUN300.DLL can be found at most FTP sites 
and most BBS'. Please make sure your VBRUN300.DLL is dated 5-12-93 or
later, and not 4-28-93.
